Hi all I'm having a problem with my phone randomly going into airplane mode (or sometimes it just reboots itself). When it goes to airplane nothing will turn it off except a battery pull. I'm running the EA11 leak, ea11 voodoo, PnP and the midnight blue steel theme. i saw a couple of posts in other phone type forums but didnt see any that gave a cause. I was just wondering if this is a known android os prob or if i changed a setting somewhere that might be causing this or whatever. It doesnt do it often, i upgraded the day after the ea11 leak was posted on here and its done it maybe 3-4 times in that period.
btw love the job yall r doing with these mods Kodos and Thanx

I had mine get stuck in airplane mode (the settings showed disabled, but it was enabled) but a reboot or battery pull wouldn't fix mine (not even a flash back to PNP), I had to end up going back to odin 2.2 and clean install of PNP and theme.
I had the same thing happen. I had to reflash 2.2. I never had a problem until I installed that same theme.
I just went with voodoo and no PnP and am not haveing any problems. I think there might be something in the theme conflicting with the ROM. Then again I'm not that knowledgeable about all this stuff either.
I had the air plane mode issue after applying a theme. Reflashing the the theme fixed it though.

I had the same issue. phone was stuck in airplane mode. my phone didn't have any of its info either. No phone number no PRL no MEID nothing like that. I just loaded a backup that I had and all was well. Have no idea if itis kernal rom or theme, but it doesn't really matter because when you are running unofficial cutting edge mods this stuff will happen. I was a little worried when it happened, tho! Ha not gonna lie. But I do expect things like this to happen. As long as you make proper backups and are willing to go back to stock, I think its fun to do this stuff to this phone. I personally don't mind when something doesn't work right cuz its a challenge to figure out what's wrong and a learning experience. That being said I have no idea why the phone stuck itself in airplane mode.
I don't know why either, but I believe (just a guess really) that it must be a glitch in the EA11s radio. I know it isn't the theme as it has happened in each I've had including the stock. My house is at the edge of cellular coverage so I often lose signal here and it seems to happen when it goes without sig for awhile. Not positive as I haven't actually seen it do it.
I agree with you ilove tweeking this thing with cutting edge stuff and am willing to suffer the occasional WTF moment I was just wanting to make sure it wasn't a carbon based user interface error LOL

yeah im at the edge, and my phone is bleeding. LOL oh well sometimes just like my laptop or my truck i seem to have the most fun when things dont quite go according to plan. just think how boring life would be if things didnt go OOPS
Just got it back!!
Mine went into Airplane mode today and after 4 battery pulls and getting rid of the Home Screen I had installed it finally came out. Just as above it said it wasn't in AM but it wouldn't let me do jack via phone or web. I don't think this is just an EA11 issue as it did the same thing with 2.1. Either way, God is GOOD!!!!
Mine did this several weeks ago. I'm on 2.2, voodoo, p n p, no theme. Reboot into recovery and just restart fixed it. Battery pull did not.

let me ask yall a question when your phone went into AM had you been somewhere that had little or no signal cuz where i live my house is in a deadspot that only gets tower sig when propagation allows. I have WiFi here but had it set to shut off when screen went dark and after an indeterminent amount of time AM kicks in, but in town where i get full sig it never seems to happen.
Experienced this last night. I believe its something to do with gogle maps, gps or wifi. After disabling via holdin power button n rebooting about 5 times n failed I did a battery pull and solved it. Voodoo kernal was my last change as far as flashing goes. Running 2.2 stock.

Same thing here. Go into recovery and wipe cache will fix every time. Something else I got my lady one too and hers is stock her signal strength is wayyyy better than mine idk but I hate to go back to 2.1

I haven't had this happen to me since EB16, try just using odin to go back to stock EB16 then do pick and pack and theme if you wish - I haven't had it go into Airplane mode a single time without me setting it to.
Flashing isn't perfect, typically an odin reflash will fix problems.
I'm on ea11 can't seem to get eb16 to work lol and im not new to this at all.

Mine did it again yesterday. Have eb16, PnP, and voodoo. Phone was in holder and just rebooted and stuck in airplane mode. Pulled battery for about three minutes and it fixed it.
Could there be something in these leaked versions causing this that could be corrected when the official 2.2 and source code are released?

Happened to me today for first time
This happened to me today for the first time. I'm on stock EB16 with the voodoo kernel (no themes). Restarting a couple of times didn't help. Finally pulled the battery and after restarting, every thing was back to normal. In general, it seems if I don't reboot the phone at least every day or two random glitches seem to start happening (usually wifi not working correctly). I have no idea what causes the problems.
Mine did it once Sunday and twice yesterday(Monday). 3 times in less then 36 hours. It's getting very annoying and I'm contemplating going back to 2.1 bcause of this. Be nice if USC would hurry up with the official release and source code.

Have you tried doing an odin back to EB16 and reflashing pick and pack/theme?
As I stated before, I have run into this issue in the past and after I did a clean install it hasn't happened since.
Hi all,
Few days ago I used Odin to go back to the stock Rom.
Since then the buttons p, mostly the back button, are randomly pressed when I'm not touching them.
I tried to use Odin again, flashed other roms and even restored the system to a Rom that worked fine, but the problem repeats in all of them.
Any ideas?
Tnx

Bad Hardware= warranty replacement.
This isn't the right place for this, but you can emulate something like this for pointless fun. Try running this command:
adb shell monkey 3000
and marvel as your phone flips out.
I have the same problem I saw a thread a while back saying that the problem stems from moisture in the phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Interesting thing about the moisture, would explain why my phones search button will do this for 1/2 - 2 days and then stop for 1-2 weeks at a time.

ya I have the same thing with my search button. But it will press in storms of 10+ which is annoying but not as bad as home or back

I had it happen on my first Captivate with the back key, it actually freaked out so much the phone was unusable . As long as it can be reproduced they will replace it no questions asked. Just make sure you are on stock and have done a master clear.
Edit: this was without any moisture issues, before snow hit etc
I have the same problem when using 2.1 then flashed 2.2 and zero problem. you can try flash to fix it.
Hi, I started having similar problems. But with my Power button only. It doesn't press by itself, but when i press it sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. BUT it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem because the first time it happened, i tried reflashing the kernel and everything was back to normal again, after 2 months here comes the problem again. I was able to fix it after a Hard reset using *2767*3855#, but later on i decided to do a factory data wipe and the power button key started going bonkers again. So I tried doing the hard reset trick to try and fix it again, but sadly this time it didn't work. I also tried flashing back to stock, master clearing, wiping cache and dalvik cache, wiping data. Trying to bring everything back to stock. But the problem still persists, I can't find a solution. Is there some code that I can't seem to reset that's causing this kind of problem. Hope someone can help me. My phones unusable and it's making me go crazy trying to find the problem and fixing it

The fact that it comes and goes probably means it is a hardware problem and not a software problem

I was having the same problem with my home button. I tried everything above to fix it. The only thing that has worked so far is updating my phone to stock 2.2 using kies. My home button was acting up 2 to 3 times a day and now it hasnt acted once yet.

But wouldn't it make sense if the moisture also left the phone? The only thing that made up my mind of it being hardware was flashing to stock and having the search button click continuously immediately. I have had the problem on and since october. Usually once a month for a couple of days. I let it sleep in a rice bowl when it acts up

Ok so my phone just started doing this one day while I was running Cognition 4.x Don't remember the exact version. I then switched over to Firefly on version 2.7 and kept updating all the way through 3.0. It was doing it on firefly too.
It got pretty bad a few weeks ago so I started messing around with BLN and the haptic feedback. After cranking the haptic feedback up it seemed to quit doing it as much. For example before I started messing with stuff every time I turned the screen on the home button would go nuts till I pressed it several times. After I messed with the haptic feedback it would only do it about 1 out of every 5 times I'd turn the screen on.
Well tonight I flashed from firefly to 2.3, I'm running GR-9 and TalonDEV 0.1.3 and it hasn't done it at all tonight. It'll probably start after I post this, but so far so good on Gingerbread.
I don't know if any of that will help anybody else, but thought I'd throw my experience with it out there. If it starts acting up I'll post about it.
I've only had the phone for less than 24 hours and I'm ready to send it back. Someone help me out please.
My phone keeps shutting down randomly. I rooted, installed CWM (Yes the nvFlash), Installed Evils ROM from the dev section.
The phone shut down right before bed last night and it must have done it sometime through the night because I had to restart it in the morning. Today it turned off a couple of times and my logical thought was that it was the ROM.
I switched over to EaglesBlood 1.0.5 hoping it would be a little more stable. It took a little longer, but it still shut completely off.
Nevermind the battery life I just want it to stay on. I'm no genius, but I'm pretty decent with ADB and terminal if I can fix it. Let me know if I'm overlooking something.
this phone has several issues. check the rest of the forums. what you are experiencing is one of them and it only gets worse from here.....

I've read most of the issues. I was hoping there was a way to fix it. I talked to a customer service rep at the Tmo store today. He said there is supposed to be an update released by the end of the month.
I rooted so I never have to worry about releases. Usually Cyanogen and his team are all over this kind of stuff. (Cue G1)
I really wanna know why it's doing it and how to fix it.
You by chance have an app that flashes the home buttons as a notification? When I deleted that, my random shut offs dropped...
Is it shut down? Or is the screen black? I get the occasional black screen... if you hit the power button the screen gets a little brighter... if it's that you can just do a hard reboot, power+volume up

Still not working
Okay I think this will help out. I'm been trying different ROM's for a couple of weeks now in an effort to get this to stop this is what's happening.
1. The phone shuts off completely and you need to pull the battery out to get it to turn on with the power button.
2. The phone turns off during a call or during use and starts up again with the boot animation.
3. Shuts off while charging in the middle of the night or while on the car charger.
What app needs deleted or removed? How do I do it? I'd like to post the solution up for anyone having this same problem.

Download this Rom. It is based off of the GB update from LG and lets you keep root. It may solve your problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158513

I'm flashing this ROM now. I'll try running it for a few days and see if I get any improvements.
I hit the thanks button. I'll post what happens.
I am getting the same problem with my G2x randomly and whiles its charging and I have tried roms CM7 Nightly, EaglesBlood, Trigger, and MIUI but all start shutting off sooner or later. Tell me if that rom fixes yours.

I only noticed this after flashing CM7.1 stable. Never saw it on RC1.
For some reason, any time I power off the phone, it immediately turns on again. If I pull the battery and put it back in, it turns on again. I can't seem to do anything to keep the phone powered off short of keeping the battery out.
I can't imagine how the ROM could cause this, but is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Maybe it's a bug in Clockwork Recovery?

It might not be the ROM or clockwork at all. One of my OLD phones that was just a basic Samsung slider did that same thing and I had to take the battery out to get it to stay off.
Try switching roms or even unrooting and re-rooting. If that doesn't do anything then its most likely a hardware problem and you should unroot it and bring it to t mobile.

Power button stuck.

It's the HTC Panache from Mobilicity, not from T-Mobile, but same hardware. And I'm using it on WIND, so I hope warranty won't be an issue.
It's not the power button because the button works fine in all contexts. When I sleep the phone it stays slept. It's just that when I power it off, it pops back up again.
I tried rolling back to an older Clockwork recovery. No change. Logically this function should probably be controlled by the bootloader. I know I have the bad eMMC but no obvious symptoms of failure. Is this perhaps a sign that it's starting to fail?

Update: if the phone is plugged into power when I turn it off, it stays off. Once I unplug it, within 5 seconds it boots up again.
Sent from my Nook Color!
Update: I took a full Titanium Backup and a full nandroid backup, and then tried flashing back via PD15IMG.zip to the original Mobilicity HTC Sense ROM.
Once Fast Boot is disabled (as that results in a "fake shutdown"), if I power off the phone... one, two, three, four, five, and it comes back on. So this doesn't seem to be related to the ROM after all. Something has gone weird with the phone that prevents a full hardware shutdown.
Fortunately this is the only hardware problem I'm experiencing. So now I'll have to think about whether to bring this in for warranty. Restoring the Nandroid to CM for now...
EDIT: Well this is interesting. After restoring the nandroid backup, I selected power off in CWM and it powered off... and stayed off! Puzzling.
Booting back into CM7.1, and powering off one more time. Drumroll... and it stays off!
Well... I guess I... fixed it? *shakes head*
I had the same issue with an earlier nightly of CM7. In fact, it was probably multiple builds.
I think clearing cache/dalvik cache probably would fix it. I had a confusing moment where suddenly it stayed off as well, hasn't bothered me since.
i messed up something on my sd card. im on liquid ics and everything was great. after updating the radio i went into the card to either rename or delete the PG051IMG so I could boot into recovery. I think what happened is that I deleted something similar to it in error. now I only get 1x no matter what rom I use from a backup. Am i screwed or can I fix this? everthing else is fine. I guess I got carried away messing with something that wasn't broken.
Thanks for any help.
Ed
The fact that you get 1x has nothing to do with something on your ad card. Have you tried putting your phone in airplane mode and taking it out? Also if that doesnt work then maybe try going to back to your old radio. Radios are different for everyone and your results may not be the same as someone else's.

I've had the bolt since launch day and really enjoy it with liquid ics or gb.
Yea no problem. Data is still a little finicky with the liquid builds. They're still trying to nail down the ril so that data is more reliable.

I usually find myself able to get data back faster by going to the data usage tool and just turning mobile data off and back on since it can sometimes take a bit for my airplane mode to go on and off

Yea toggling data on and off will work sometimes. There are times where putting it into airplane mode or rebooting are the only solutions.

I also forgot to post that I have also had trouble getting stuck in 1x mode. I've had to go into LTE On/Off and change the setting back and forth there as well as switch the Network Mode under the Mobile network settings to force it into 3g. Only had that a couple of times, havent really had many problems lately.
